Account

The witness was driving toward Concho, Arizona in the afternoon when he saw a tall, dark-brown, hair-covered biped step onto the highway ahead. The figure stayed fully upright and ran across the road from right to left before disappearing into brush. The witness's wife was in the vehicle but did not look up in time to see it. The witness stated he was certain of what he saw and ruled out a bear based on its erect posture and movement.
